CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a continuation application of International Application PCT/CN2021/085999, filed on Apr. 8, 2021, which claims the priority to Chinese patent application No. 202010277148.5, entitled “FACE IMAGE AND IRIS IMAGE ACQUISITION METHOD AND DEVICE, READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND APPARATUS”, filed on Apr. 10, 2020, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of biometric identification, and particularly to a face image and iris image acquisition method and device, a readable storage medium, and an apparatus.

BACKGROUND

The technology of biometric identification is a close combination of a computer and high-tech means such as optics, acoustics, and biosensors and biostatistics principles, and is used for personal identification by means of the inherent physiological characteristics (such as fingerprints, faces, iris, etc.) and behavioral characteristics (such as handwriting, voice, gait, etc.) of the human body.

As an important identification feature, the iris has the advantages of lifetime uniqueness, stability, acquirability, and non-invasiveness, and is an inevitable trend in the development of identification research and application thereof.

The iris is hidden deep in the eyes. During the acquisition of iris information, quite a number of people wear glasses, and there is a certain probability that the glasses will reflect light and block the iris. Moreover, the changes in the natural light outside may also cause light spots, which may cause difficulties in acquiring the iris information. It may even be impossible to acquire clear and effective iris information due to the influence of the light spots, so that an identification based on the iris information may not be performed.

Therefore, the current iris information acquisition method has the problem that clear and effective iris information may not be acquired due to the influence of the light spot.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the technical problems, technical solution, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all embodiments of the present disclosure. The components in the embodiments of the present disclosure described and illustrated in the drawings herein may generally be arranged and designed by means of various configurations. Thus, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

First Embodiment

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a face image and iris image acquisition method. The present disclosure is applicable to a device having two sets of imaging modules including a face lens and an iris lens. The device may be a smart door lock, or an all-in-one machine for face and iris identification, or an access control setting, or any other device with both the face lens and the iris lens.

Both the face lens and the iris lens are installed on a first tripod head, and the face lens and the iris lens may be located on the same horizontal line (in a direction parallel to a rotation axis of the first tripod head) of a device housing. There is a relatively small horizontal distance between the face lens and the iris lens, and the distance is in a range of 40 mm, for example. A field angle of the face lens is relatively large, and a field angle of the iris lens is relatively small. The face lens and the iris lens may rotate along with the rotation of the first tripod head. A supplementary light source is installed on the second tripod head.

The first tripod head and the second tripod head may rotate up and down and/or left and right. The specific structure of the tripod head is not limited in the present disclosure, and may be, for example, an electric two-dimensional tripod head (rotatable up and down, and left and right) controlled by a stepper motor, or a simple rotating shaft (rotatable only in one up-and-down, or left-and-right dimension), and the rotating shaft is controlled by a stepper motor.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes following steps.

At step S100, the first tripod head is rotated to force the face lens and the iris lens to be in acquisition positions.

The face lens and the iris lens are in the acquisition positions, which means that when the first tripod head rotates to a certain position, the face lens and the iris lens may capture a face image and an iris image at the same time, and the face is roughly in the center of the face image, and the iris is roughly in the center of the iris image.

The first tripod head may be driven by a motor. In some embodiments, the acquisition position may be a fixed position, and suitable for capturing a user with a height of a fixed range. For example, the device is an iris lock. The iris lock is suitable for a family, and is usually used by several fixed users, therefore, the acquisition position may be one corresponding to an average height of all users of the family, thereby reducing a rotation angle of the first tripod head and speeding up a capturing speed of the face image and the iris image. In other embodiments, the acquisition position may also change according to the user's height, which is suitable for capturing users of different heights. For example, the device is an access control device, which is generally arranged at an entrance of an enterprise, and the acquisition position of the face lens and the iris lens may be adaptively adjusted according to the user's height, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

An example of the angle of the first tripod head may be implemented as follows. Firstly, reference coordinates are preset, and the iris image may be captured at the reference coordinates, and the eye position is in the center of the iris image. Then the position coordinates of the eye in the captured face image or iris image are located, and are converted into an angle that the stepper motor needs to rotate according to a pixel difference between the position coordinates of the eye and the reference coordinates. Then, a rotation command is sent to the motor, and the motor rotates for a corresponding angle according to the received command.

At step S200, a first face image and a first iris image are captured simultaneously by the face lens and the iris lens.

During the rotation of the first tripod head, the face image and the iris image may be captured in real time, and the rotation angle of the first tripod head may be corrected according to the face image and the iris image captured in real time, and of course, may not be corrected.

After the rotation of the first tripod head is completed, the face lens and the iris lens arrive at the respective acquisition position, and capture and obtain the first face image and the first iris image at the same time. The first face image and the first iris image may be used for a subsequent face and iris identification authentication, and for a face and iris liveness detection, etc.

At step S300, the iris in the first iris image is located, and if no iris is located, it is determined whether a condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied, the second tripod head is rotated to adjust an angle or a position of the supplementary light source to enable a light spot region to avoid the iris region.

In the prior art, in order to make the light spot avoid the iris region, the positions of the light spot and the iris in the captured iris image are located, and the position of the supplementary light source is adjusted according to the light spot location information and the iris location information, so that the light spot moves out of the iris region.

However, during an application in a real scene, in order to adapt to more application environments, a supplementary light source with a large area is often needed to supply light. In this case, the reflected light spot will also increase, and when the ambient light in the real scene is not ideal (for example, the light is too strong), the light spot with the large area will also appear. This light spot with the large area sometimes even covers the entire iris region completely, thus disenabling the iris detection algorithm to complete locating the iris coordinates in the iris image, so that the position of the supplementary light source may not be adjusted according to the light spot location information and the iris location information, and that the light spot cannot be moved out of the iris region by adjusting the position of the supplementary light source.

The present disclosure is used to solve the above defect of the prior art. When the iris cannot be located in the first iris image, the case that the light spot completely covers the entire iris region may occur, and the second tripod head needs to be rotated. Specifically, it is determined firstly whether the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied, that is, whether the second tripod head needs to be rotated. If the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied, then the second tripod head is rotated, and the angle or the position of the supplementary light source can be controlled and adjusted via the second tripod head, so that the light spot avoids the iris region. The rotation angle and rotation direction of the second tripod head may be set as required. The iris image is re-captured during or after the rotation of the second tripod head, and the captured iris image may also be used for a subsequent iris identification or a subsequent liveness detection etc.

The determining whether the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied includes following steps.

At step S100′, the light spot region in the first iris image is located, and an area of the light spot region is calculated.

At this step, the light spot region may be located by making a statistic for gray values of pixels in the first iris image. The light spot region is relatively bright, and the gray values thereof are relatively large, therefore the light spot region may be located by making the statistic for the gray values of the pixels in the first iris image.

In addition, the area of the light spot region may also be calculated by the number of the pixels in the light spot region, and it is further determined whether the area of the light spot region meets a set threshold condition. The set threshold condition is generally that the area of the light spot region is greater than half of the area of the iris (generally, the area of the iris is 1 cm²).

At step S200′, facial features including an eye in the first face image are located, and the facial features in the first iris image are located.

Since the iris image is an image of part of the face (including both eyes and part of a surrounding region thereof), and the iris image is a near-infrared black and white image, and the face image is a color image of the entire face. Therefore, the color image of the face naturally has more facial features (i.e., feature information points such as nose, lips, eyebrows, eyes, and face, etc.) than the black and white image of the iris. Moreover, a horizontal distance between the face lens and the iris lens on the device is relatively small, and both the face lens and the iris lens capture the face image and the iris image respectively at the same time, therefore, the face image and the iris image of the same user at the same angle and in the same coordinate system are captured. When the iris cannot be located in the iris image, it is possible to locate the eye position in the face image captured at the same angle, which is also a characteristic of the algorithm of locating feature points in the face image.

At step S300′, it is determined whether the light spot region covers the iris region, according to the positions of the facial features of the same part in the first face image and in the first iris image, the position of the eye in the first face image, and the position of the light spot region in the first iris image.

The present disclosure adopts two capturing lenses, namely the face lens and the iris lens, both of which simultaneously complete capturing the first face image and the first iris image for the same user at the same distance from the face lens and from the iris lens. Moreover, the field angle of the face lens is greater than the field angle of the iris lens, so the region of the first face image captured by the face lens may completely cover the region of the first iris image captured by the iris lens. A greatest difference between the facial features of the same area in the first face image and in the first iris image exists in the position of the light spot. By calculating a difference between the overlapped region in the first face image and in the first iris image by an algorithm, the position of the light spot may be accurately calculated, and there is no need to worry about that an influence of a too large light spot on locating the iris will disable a next step of avoiding the light spot to be performed.

Specifically, a superposition analysis is performed on the first face image and the first iris image; and the position of the eye in the first iris image may be obtained according to the positions of feature information points of same parts among the located feature information points of facial features such as nose, lips, eyebrows, eyes and faces, etc. in the first face image and the located feature information points of facial features such as nose, lips, eyebrows, eyes and faces etc. in the first iris image, and according to the position of the eye in the first face image. An exact location of the light spot region may be determined by combining with the position of the light spot in the first iris image located and obtained at step S100′, thereby determining whether the light spot region covers the iris region.

At step S400′, if the area of the light spot region satisfies the set threshold condition, and the light spot region covers the iris region, then the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied.

At this step, if the area of the light spot region satisfies the set threshold condition, it means that the light spot is a large light spot, and the area of the light spot is generally greater than half of the area of the iris area, and if the light spot region covers the iris region, then the second tripod head needs to be rotated to adjust the angle and the position of the supplementary light source, so that the light spot avoids the iris region.

The face image and iris image acquisition method of the present disclosure is used to, when the face lens and the iris lens are in the acquisition positions but the iris cannot be located in the first iris image, obtain the area and the position of the light spot in the first iris image, and perform the superposition analysis on the first face image and the first iris image, and determine whether the light spot covers the iris according to the positions of the feature points of the same part of the first face image and the first iris image. If the area of the light spot is greater than the set threshold and the light spot covers the iris, then the angle and the position of the supplementary light source are adjusted so that the light spot avoids the iris region, thereby capturing a clear and usable iris image, and solving the problem in the prior art that the light spot cannot be moved out of the iris region when the iris cannot be located in the iris image.

To sum up, the present disclosure uses the feature points of the same part in the overlapped region of the first face image and the first iris image, and light spot data, thereby avoiding the problem of an iris locating failure caused by the interference of the large light spot. When the light spot covers the iris region, the angle or the position of the supplementary light source is adjusted so that the light spot accurately avoids the iris region, thereby capturing the clear and usable iris image.

During the iris identification, it is needed to capture the user's iris information quickly and accurately, but each person's iris region is relatively small (about 1 cm in diameter), and the iris identification has very high requirements for the clarity and the pixel number of the iris image. Usually, the pixel number captured in the iris region is about 20 pixels/mm, thus causing the field angle of the iris lens not to be too large. At present, most manufacturers use a set of near-infrared light supplement light (for example, a light emitting diode (LED) near-infrared light supplement light) combining with a fixed iris acquisition module to capture the iris image under a condition of a fixed environment and at a fixed height by requiring users to cooperate. For a relatively short user, he/she is needed to stand on tiptoe to make the iris images to be captured better, while for a relatively tall user, he/she is needed to bend over to make the iris images to be captured better. As a result, in the process of capturing the iris images, the conventional iris image acquisition device will face the problems that the iris lens has a small depth of field and cannot automatically adapt to the user's height.

In order to automatically adapt to the iris acquisition for users of different heights, the step S100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include following steps.

At step S110, a second face image is captured by the face lens.

The first face image and the second face image are only used to distinguish and name the face images captured for the same user at different times, but do not represent a capturing sequence.

At step S120, an eye in the second face image is located, and a first angle by which the first tripod head needs to be rotated is calculated according to a located position coordinates of the eye and a preset first reference coordinates.

Since the field angle of the face lens is relatively large, it is easier to detect the eye through the face image. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the rotation angle of the first tripod head, namely the first angle, is preliminarily calculated according to the eye coordinates in the second face image at first.

Specifically, when the first tripod head may perform a two-dimensional rotation, a horizontal rotation angle and a vertical rotation angle may be calculated according to a pixel difference between the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the eye position and the reference horizontal and vertical coordinates. When the first tripod head may only rotate up and down or left and right in one dimension (because in most case the present disclosure is adapted to users of different heights, the one-dimensional rotation is generally an up-and-down rotation), and a horizontal rotation angle or a vertical rotation angle (usually the vertical rotation angle) is calculated according to the pixel difference between the horizontal or vertical coordinate (usually the vertical coordinate) of the eye position and the reference horizontal or vertical coordinate.

At step S130, the first tripod head is controlled to rotate according to the first angle, and during the rotation of the first tripod head, the second iris image is captured in real time by the iris lens, and the iris is located.

At step S140, if the iris is located in the second iris image captured in real time, a second angle by which the first tripod head needs to be rotated is calculated according to the located position coordinates of the iris and a preset second reference coordinates, and the first tripod head is controlled to rotate according to the second angle.

Although the field angle of the iris lens is relatively small, the resolution of the iris lens is relatively high. Therefore, during the rotation, if the iris is detected in the second iris image, the second angle is obtained according to the pixel difference between the position coordinates of the iris in the second iris image and the second reference position coordinates; and the first tripod head is rotated according to the second angle, so that the rotation angle of the first tripod head is more accurate. The specific implementation of obtaining the second angle according to the pixel difference between the position coordinates of the iris in the second iris image and the second reference position coordinates may refer to the above descriptions of obtaining the first angle according to the pixel difference between the position coordinates of the eye in the second iris image and the first reference position coordinates, and will not be repeatedly described hereinafter.

The first angle may be divided into a fast-rotating angle and a slow-rotating angle, that is, the first angle is a sum of the fast-rotating angle and the slow-rotating angle. The rotation of the first tripod head being controlled according to the first angle is implemented as follows. Specifically, when a distance between the position coordinates of the eye and the first reference coordinates is greater than a distance threshold, and when the second iris image is not detected by the iris lens, the first tripod head may be firstly controlled to rotate by the fast-rotating angle at a first speed. Then, when the distance between the position coordinates of the eye and the first reference coordinates is less than the distance threshold, and when the second iris image is detected by the iris lens, the first tripod head is controlled to rotate by the slow-rotating angle at a second speed. The first speed is greater than the second speed. In the process of controlling the first tripod head to rotate at the second speed, the second iris image may be captured in real time through the iris lens, and it is detected in real time whether an eye appears in the second iris image for locating the iris, till the iris is located or the rotation by the slow-rotating angle is finished.

Therefore, in the process of controlling the first tripod head to rotate by the first angle, the first tripod head rotates by a first section of the first angle at a relatively fast first speed, and the first tripod head rotates by a second section of the first angle at a second speed slower than the first speed.

Through the above means, the first tripod head rotates by the first angle at the relatively fast speed first and then the slow speed. The process of the first tripod head rapidly rotating by the fast-rotating angle may save the rotation time and improve the efficiency of locating the iris. The process of the first tripod head rotating by the slow-rotating angle at the relatively slow speed makes it convenient to stabilize the iris lens to capture the second iris images through the iris lens in real time and to detect whether the eye appears frame by frame, thereby improving the accuracy of the iris locating. Therefore, the efficiency of locating is improved while ensuring the accurate iris locating.

The rotation of the first tripod head being controlled according to the second angle is implemented as follows. Specifically, when the iris in the second iris image is located, the first tripod head may be controlled to rotate by the second angle at a third speed. The second speed is greater than the third speed.

During the second rotation of the first tripod head according to the second angle, the rotation speed at this time will be slower and more stable than that of the previous rotation, and operations of capturing the face image and the iris image and judging quality thereof (for example, including determining whether the feature points including the eye are located, and whether the face image and the iris image are blurred, etc.) may be activated at the same time. If it is determined that the quality is qualified, then biologic features will be extracted from the captured face and iris images and be loaded into the memory for preparing for a subsequent comparison process. Therefore, the quality judgment process of the face and iris images may be performed in a relatively stable state, so as to avoid misjudgment that may affect the result of the subsequent comparison process.

A specific example is as follows. In the process of the first tripod head rotating by the first 70% of the first angle, the first tripod head rotates at a high speed of the first speed, and then starts to decelerate when it rotates by the second 30% of the first angle, and rotates at a low speed of the second speed. And then it is determined whether the iris is detected in the second iris images frame by frame by means of the iris lens to locate the iris. During the rotation, once the iris lens finds the iris position information data, the pixel number of the iris coordinates is immediately obtained, and the pixel difference between the iris coordinates and the second reference coordinates are calculated for the second time. The rotation value of the stepper motor is calculated according to the pixel difference, and the first tripod head is controlled to rotate for the second time at a third speed slower than the second speed.

In the present disclosure, firstly, the eye is located (for the first time) based on the second face image captured by the face lens, and the first angle by which the first tripod head needs to be rotated is calculated, and then the first tripod head is controlled to rotate by the first angle, and during the rotation, the iris lens is controlled to capture the second iris image, so that the iris may be located (for the second time) based on the second iris image. Therefore, the first tripod head is rotated by means of combining the eye locating and the iris locating, so that the face lens may quickly locate the eye during the eye locating, and that the iris lens may accurately locate the iris during the iris locating, thereby quickly and accurately achieving an adaptation of the users height and position.

A specific example (taking the first tripod head rotating up and down as an example) is as follows.

Firstly, the face lens is activated to capture the second face image, and the face area is located to obtain the eye coordinate information. According to the vertical axis data of the eye coordinate position information and the first reference vertical coordinate, the eye pixel difference between the position coordinates of the eye and the first reference position coordinates is calculated and converted into the first rotation value of the stepper motor according to the eye pixel difference. A first rotation instruction is generated according to the first rotation value of the stepper motor, and the first rotation instruction is sent to the motor of the first tripod head. The motor drives the first tripod head to rotate by a corresponding angle according to the first rotation instruction.

During the rotation of the first tripod head driven by the motor, when the iris position information data is detected in the second iris image captured by the iris lens, the pixel number of the iris vertical coordinate is immediately obtained, and the iris pixel difference between the iris vertical coordinate and the second reference vertical coordinate is calculated. The second rotation value of the stepper motor is obtained according to the iris pixel difference, and a second rotation instruction is generated according to the second rotation value of the stepper motor. The second rotation instruction is sent to the motor of the first tripod head, and the motor drives the first tripod head to rotate by a corresponding angle according to the second rotation instruction, so that the iris lens is rotated to an optimum acquisition position, that is, the iris in the second iris image captured at this time is located in a central position, as shown in FIG. 2 .

The steps S200 and S300 may include following steps.

At step S210, after the first tripod head completes rotating, the first face image and the first iris image are captured simultaneously through the face lens and the iris lens.

At step S220, the iris in the first iris image is located.

At step S230, if the iris is neither located in the second iris image, nor located in the first iris image, then it is determined whether the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied.

That is, the present disclosure firstly ensures that the iris lens and the face lens are controlled to rotate to an expected position matching the height of the user by completing locating the eye for the first time (S120). However, the light spot is too large, therefore, at the step S130, and during the entire rotation process of the iris lens, the iris coordinates cannot be located for the second time in the second iris image, and even after the iris lens completes rotating, the iris cannot be located in the second iris image. At this time, it should be considered and determined whether the second tripod head is rotated to avoid light, that is, it is determined whether the condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied, i.e., the steps S100′ to S400′ are performed.

The iris lens mostly uses a near-infrared active supplementary light source to acquire data, but irises of different race groups have a certain tendency to near-infrared light sources of different wavebands. For example, European and American are more suitable for a light source of 910 nm, and Asian are more suitable for a light source of 810 to 850 nm. If the light source does not match the eye, it will cause some trouble to the iris acquisition, that is, a clear iris image cannot be acquired.

In order to solve the above problem, the supplementary light source of the present disclosure includes a plurality of near-infrared light supplement lights. The plurality of near-infrared light supplement lights are distributed at different positions around the iris lens. The plurality of near-infrared light supplement lights have various wavelengths. When the supplementary light source supplements light, the near-infrared light supplement lights at different positions lighten alternately, and the wavelengths of the near-infrared light supplement lights that lighten simultaneously each time are the same.

In the present disclosure, the near-infrared light supplement lights of various wavelengths are arranged near the iris lens, and the manner of alternate flashing is adopted to make up for the adaptation of various people to the near-infrared light source.

In a specific example, the near-infrared light supplement lights include twelve supplement lights A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3, and C4. The wavelengths of the supplement lights A1 to A4 are 810 nm, the wavelengths of the supplement lights B1 to B4 are 850 nm, and the wavelengths of the supplement lights C1 to C4 are 910 nm. The twelve supplement lights are divided into two light supplementing modules, each light supplementing module includes six supplement lights, and the two light supplement modules are arranged symmetrically at the left and right sides of the iris lens.

In the light supplementing module on the left, the supplement light A1 is arranged on the left of a top row, the supplement light C2 is arranged on the right of a top row; the supplement light B1 is arranged on the left of a middle row, and the supplement light A2 is arranged on the right of a middle row; the supplement light C1 is arranged on the left of a bottom row, and the supplement light B2 is arranged on the right of a bottom row. In the light supplementing module on the right, the supplement light C3 is arranged on the left of the top row, the supplement light A4 is on the right of the top row; the supplement light A3 is arranged on the left of the middle row, the supplement light B4 is arranged on the right of the middle row; the supplement light B3 is arranged on the left of the bottom row, and the supplement light C4 is arranged on the right of the bottom row, as shown in FIG. 3 .

The twelve supplement lights flash alternately by six groups (A1, A4), (A2, A3), (B1, B4), (B2, B3), (C1, C4), and (C2, C3), each group flashes for 100 to 150 ms. In this way, not only the near-infrared light adaptability of the iris of different race groups is satisfied, but also light may be supplemented from multiple angles to prevent the light spot of glasses, caused by the irradiation of the supplement light, from covering the iris. The plurality of supplement lights are not arranged to form a horizontal line, so as to offset the light spots.

The face image and iris image acquisition method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include the following step.

At step S400, if the iris in the first iris image is located, it is determined whether the quality of the first iris image meets the requirements, if the quality of the first iris image does not meet the requirements, the second tripod head is rotated to adjust the angle or the position of the supplementary light source, so that the light spot region avoids the iris region.

Although the iris lens may avoid the light spot of glasses by alternate flashing of the six groups of lighters, sometimes the iris image may not be successfully captured due to interference of external stray light.

That is to say, at the step S300, if the iris in the first iris image is located, it means that the iris region is not completely covered by the light spot. At this time, it may be determined whether the quality of the first iris image (mainly the clarity of the image, etc.) satisfies the requirements. If the requirements are satisfied, the iris image may be used for liveness detection and identification operations; if the requirements are not satisfied, it means that a clear binocular iris image may not be captured even though the iris is located at an effective acquisition position. In this case, it may be because a small light spot interferes the iris, or because the iris region is covered partially, or because a position of the supplementary light source may be inappropriate, etc., the clear binocular iris image cannot be captured.

In the present disclosure, the supplementary light source is rotated up or down by rotating the second tripod head, and the position of the supplementary light source is adjusted to force the supplementary light source to supplement light for the iris lens from a relatively upper or lower position, so as to eliminate the interference of the light spot.

After the iris is located at this step, once a reflection of the lens occurs, the supplementary light source has three positions of the upper, middle and lower positions (shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , in which FIG. 4 , FIG. 3 , and FIG. 5 show the upper, the middle and the lower positions respectively), and may be automatically adjusted and adapted to quickly avoid the interference of the light spot of the external light source.

The face image and iris image acquisition method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include the following steps.

At step S500, during the rotation of the second tripod head (including the rotation of the second tripod head at step S400 and step S400′), the third iris image is captured in real time through the iris lens by means of the light supplement of the supplementary light source. While the third iris image is captured, the third face image may be captured at the same time through the face lens.

In the present disclosure, the first iris image, the second iris image, and the third iris image are not named according to an order of capture time but named according to an order of appearance in the text part of the present disclosure. When sorted according to the capture time, the second iris image, the first iris image, and the third iris image are in an order of the capture time. Similarly, when sorted according to an order of capture time, the second face image, the first face image, and the third face image are in an order of the capture time.

At step S600, the light spot region and the iris are located in real time in the third iris image. If the iris in the third iris image is located and the light spot region does not cover the iris region, the second tripod head is controlled to pause to wait for the iris lens to capture images.

The present disclosure may detect the light spot coordinates and the iris coordinates as well through an algorithm. If the light spot coordinates and the iris coordinates coincide, the second tripod head needs to be rotated to drive the light supplementing module to rotate to avoid coinciding. When the second tripod head is rotated till the light spot coordinates are far away from the iris coordinates, the second tripod head pauses appropriately to wait for the iris lens to capture an effective iris image for the subsequent identification and the liveness detection.

The locating the light spot region in the first iris image and calculating the area of the light spot region (step S100′) includes following steps.

At step S110′, statistics is made for the gray values of pixels in the first iris image, and if the gray values of several continuous pixels exceed the set value, then a region composed of the several continuous pixels whose gray values exceed the set value is the light spot region.

According to statistics, the gray values of the light spot are generally greater than 200, and the horizontal pixels of the iris lens (such as the binocular iris lens) are generally 1920 pix and over, so if the gray values of more than ten continuous pixels in the iris image are detected to be over 200, then the multiple pixels each with a gray value exceeding 200 may be further defined as the light spot region.

At step S120′, statistics is made for the pixel numbers n and n′ in the horizontal and vertical directions of the light spot region, and the area S of the light spot region is calculated by an equation:

S=(2*n*x*tan(θ/2)/m)² *n′/n

Where, m denotes the horizontal pixel number of the first iris image, θ denotes the field angle of the iris lens, and x denotes a capturing distance between the iris lens and the user.

The derivation process of the above equation is as follows.

According to the field angle θ of the iris lens and the capturing distance x (cm) between the iris lens and the user, the horizontal length h(cm) of the first iris image may be calculated:

h=2*tan(θ/2)*x

Then the horizontal length y (cm), the vertical length y′ (cm) and the area S (cm²) of the light spot may be calculated by the following equations:

y=h*n/m=2*tan(θ/2)*x*n/m

y′=y*n′/n=(2*tan(θ/2)*x*n/m)*n′/n

S=y*y′=(2*n*x*tan(θ/2)/m)² *n′/n.

Assuming that the horizontal pixel number m of the first iris image is 1920 pix, the field angle θ is 18 degrees, the capturing distance x is 40 cm, and the light spot has 160 horizontal pixels and 160 vertical pixels, and the final calculated light spot area is approximately equal to 1 cm².

After the step S200′, the face image and iris image acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include the following step.

At step S210′, the first tripod head is rotated according to a position in the first face image of the located facial feature in the first face image and/or a position in the first iris image of the located facial feature in the first iris image.

This step is used to verify whether the iris lens and the face lens are really in the preset acquisition position. If eyebrow feature information is found in both images and at a center or lower position thereof, it means that the current acquisition position of the iris lens and the face lens is a little high, and the first tripod head needs to be properly rotated downward. If mouth or nose feature information is found in both images and at an upper position thereof, it means that the current acquisition position of the iris lens and the face lens is a little low, and the first tripod head needs to be rotated upwards appropriately.

After the first tripod head is rotated, and after it is determined that the iris is in the middle area, the subsequent steps proceed, the supplementary light source is adjusted and controlled to rotate up and down by the second tripod head (step S300′ to step S400′), to forcibly avoid the interference of the light spot of the external light source.

To sum up, the embodiment of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.

1. In the present disclosure, the face lens and the iris lens may be rotated at the same time, and automatically adapt to the users of different heights or the users at different distances by locating twice, thereby capturing the user's face and iris information quickly and accurately without any cooperation from the user.

2. In the present disclosure, the supplement lights of multiple wavelengths are used, and the multiple groups of supplement lights alternately flash, thereby avoiding the problem that the iris information of different race groups does not match the near-infrared light, and adapting to the acquisition of the iris information data of the users of different races.

3. In the present disclosure, by using multiple groups of supplementary light sources at different positions that flash and move up and down, the influence of the light spot produced in the process of the supplementary light source irradiating the glasses is avoided, so that the iris acquisition may be completed automatically and efficiently without any cooperation from the user.

4. The overlapped region and the light spot data captured by the face lens and the iris lens are used to avoid the problem of the iris locating failure caused by the interference of the large light spot.

The present disclosure firstly ensures that the capturing of the face lens has completed the eye locating for the first time, and that the iris lens and the face lens are rotated to an expected position matching the height of the user. However, the light spot is too large, therefore, during the entire rotation processes of the lenses, the iris coordinates cannot be located for the second time in the iris images, and even after the lens completes rotating, the iris cannot be located in the iris image.

If the light spot coordinates and the iris coordinates coincide, the light supplementing module needs to be rotated to avoid coinciding. When it is found that the light spot coordinates are far away the iris coordinates, the second tripod head pauses appropriately to wait for the iris lens to capture an effective iris image for the subsequent processes such as the identification and the liveness detection, etc.

The supplementary light source of the present disclosure includes a plurality of near-infrared light supplement lights.
